there's an episode of Seinfeld on my tv right now. and part of the plot is people basically freaking out because George took a book into the bathroom.

:shrugs:

i do. it's pretty much the best place to read.

Yes; yes I DO read in the bathroom!
I've got books and a shit ton of (hahahaha) magazines in there.
I take the paper with me when I'm at work.

I break up friendships if there are no reading materials in folks bathrooms!

lets face it: it's boring in there! I need something to read.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

Wow. I'd love to take something into the bathroom with me at work. Though, I feel that would be frowned upon.

Hahaha. Have you broken up a lot of friendships?

[evilshelly.livejournal.com]

ha! so many people are jealous of my newspaper whist at work. :)

at least 2 friendships never fully formed. Dude. They had nothing to read in their entire house! NOTHING. That's weirdness I can't abide.

haha i mean, isn't that plot that he took a book at a bookstore into the bathroom and then didn't buy it? i can understand issues with that....

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

It was! But. I still don't see anything wrong with it. It's not like, he wiped his ass with the book.

I read in there. I take my phone in there. I even *gasp* take my laptop.

Who doesn't read when you're in the bathroom? When I was a kid, I remember taking a small arsenal of stuff, cause you didn't want to be bored!

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

I sometimes take my phone in. And if I had a lap top, I'd probably take that in as well.

What sort of things as a kid? And was this for the bathtub or for sitting on the toilet?

[eilan.livejournal.com]

Colouring books, puzzles, regular books.

We have a picture of my oldest brother on the toilet with a tv tray in front of him that's he's drawing on, lol.

[lesson-in-love.livejournal.com]

Yeah, always! When I was a kid, it was always chapter books. Now it's mostly my iPod or sometimes my laptop.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

Sometimes I take in my phone or my e-reader. But I always feel more comfortable with an actual book.

[justlikeyou.livejournal.com]

Haha I totally do! Used to do it as a kid too and sometimes I'd end up spending way too long on the toilet just reading because I got lost in a book....

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

Hahaha. I still do that. :/

[vunadiwai.livejournal.com]

Yeah I take a book/my ereader sometimes.

I overheard my brother and sister-in-law arguing once about a bill not being paid and my brother was like, "Well you didn't put it on the shelf in the bathroom so how was I to see it needed to be paid?" i.e. he does his netbanking on the toilet LOL

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

Hahahaha. That is so great.

[sonicbookmark.livejournal.com]

I can't blame those people for being grossed out.

It was George after all. Who knows if he washed his hands. :/

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

Hah! I'm sure he did
